Bucs Lower Season Tickets 20 Percent

According to the front page of the Bucs' website today, 2011 season tickets will cost fans 20 percent less than they did in 2010, a season in which the Bucs couldn't sell out a single game.

"Our organization has spent a lot of time listening to our fans at this time when our team is thriving and our economy is not. As a result, we are now offering several pricing changes in response to our community’s needs,” Buccaneers Co-Chairman Joel Glazer said in a press release.

Adult tickets now start at $35 per game, with youth tickets starting at $17.50. Parking and concessions have also been discounted for season ticket-holders.

However, don't expect to go to Buccaneers.com for any other information...at last check, the landing page contained just two links: one to chat with a ticket rep live and one to buy tickets on Ticketmaster.
